Steam will be your friend bending those boards.

how much does a jig setup like that run ya? I'm interested in building my own boat as well..

Dave Nagy · 09-28-2009, 03:10 AM

Ill be looking forward to the updates on this one

Afishinado · 09-28-2009, 02:57 PM

Best of luck on it parrott, I will stay tuned as well. What a great way to start a project like that.

I wish I had the ambition to do that. When I had the ambition, I didn't have the time. Kinda pizzes me off to see now you can just buy those jigs and snap them together. It's kinda like when they came out with the 1st battery screw-guns, first pneumatic nail guns, the Bobcat... WHERE WERE THEY WHEN I REALLY NEEDED THEM?

Then again, the digital calculator and the 1st Macintosh computer couldn't have come at a better time for me

You need clamps not a steambox. That fir will bend if it is thin enough. Try to use full 2X4s in the aft part of the boat with scarf joints. Tapering up forward to 1/4" X4.

Tarbaby · 10-03-2009, 05:16 AM

It will or won't bend..... You need to cut it thin enough to get it to bend.... You could get a sheet of 1/4" plywood and rip it at 4" widths. That should bend. Many layers will be strong. My shearclamp is made of laminated plys. It really doesn't matter what you make it out of as long as it is the right thickness when it comes time to plane it off. The smaller the boat the tighter the radius... so thinner boards to make the bend.

Wow, amazing!! Great work and skills, keep it up

cbboatworks2 · 10-10-2009, 11:37 AM

Donnie,

When you see your work come to life through craftsmen such as you, it makes us proud. Keep up the good work.

prockvoan · 10-10-2009, 07:46 PM

Tarbaby knows his work,but I question as to why not steam. I use it in the past with no problems.

Anyway nice start,but your work area is to clean.LOL

nitz · 10-10-2009, 08:34 PM

beautiful workshop! I really envy that kind of workspace!

prockvoan · 10-13-2009, 04:05 AM

Nice start.

Probably more than one way to skin that cat! Great thread, keep it going!

Sorry I didn't identify myself properly. ED WARD. Now JBM probably makes more sense.

RingLeader · 10-14-2009, 10:05 PM

I'm just a bit jealous... I wish like hell that I had time to build a boat from scratch. Hell I can't even find the time to finish the one in my garage.

Really Great work! Looks like alot of fun.

Donnie,

We really do appreciate the nice words but... That is what were here for. :-) If this isn't a boatload of fun (pun intended) for you, we are not doing our jobs. Call us anytime!!!

Thanks again,

Marc

Nice cup to the entry. Myself,I would of like to see a bit more Vee at the transom to give some lift there. Does that plans call for a transom bracket? A Vee bracket would in fact give lift at the transom and make the boat handle like a 24'+ boat. Looks like fun work now till glassing starts. Oh,you need to keep your work area a bit more clean. LOL!
